Re: OGLE-MC-DN-0008 in outburst! (since Oct. 19)
It looks very likely from the light curve that
this object developed superhumps in these days
following a smooth decline. Superhumps should be
present now.

I just had a look at the latest ASAS-SN Sky Patrol data for
OGLE-MC-DN-0008 and noticed that this dwarf nova is
undergoing a rare outburst (which started on Oct. 17 or 18):

Time-resolved photometry is urgently required.
Clear skies,
